C. (Red) Martin to a new' position which gives him direct charge of field operations. Patrol Director H.

N. Kirkman Aid Martin, now commander of the central division with headquarters at Lakeland, will have 'the title of "chief of patrol." He will work directly under Kirkman and the Cabinet Executive Board of Public Safety, and -Hake over part of the field supervisory functions which have been frmrried on by MaJ. J. Wallace Smith as patrol executive officer. Major Smith will continue in charge of the patrol's finances, "pfoperty, supplies and personnel at stale headquarters here.

Kirkman said the change "is in ii)c with recommendations of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Safety Council and other national traffic police authorities." Martin is the oldest ranking in the patrol organization. plain that he regards the two counties as a unit for development purposes. Bickel added that the geographical distribution of funds, with the largest outlay being in Manatee County, did not matter because anything that benefits Manatee County in regard to the flow of traffic would also benefit Sarasota. Bickel said the development of this- master plan did not just happen, but was the- result of quiet persistence by the county commissioners and Chambers of Commerce in both counties. He also emphasized the point that the two counties comprise one economic area, and praised the joint efforts of the Bradenton and Sarasota Chambers of Commerce in keeping that point uppermost He pointed out that the program would give both Bradenton and Sarasota new routes to the East Coast, that from Bradenton by way of Wauchula and the other from Sarasota by way of Arcadia.

Bickel said the ihterest of the North Trail investors must be kept in mind and that the State Road Department still ia interested in four-laning the Trail from city to city if the right-of-waya between the cities are provided. He said the connections in Bradenton and Sarasota to such a super-highway were purely municipal problems to be worked out by the respective city governments in connection with the Road Department. Bickel praised McKethan as the best and most chairman the Road Department ever had. Among the advantages of the package program, he cited as particularly valuable from a tourist standpoint the opening ftf a circular drive by way of a new connection between Anna Maria and Longboat Keys. joined the agency as a recruit en it was set up in 1930.

GOP candidate, said in a Baltimore speech his party should take the lead in developing harmony between labor and business, and since profits are the key to the Amcricah economic system, the only sound base for long-term harmony rests in the development of volun tary profit-sharing with employes through American business. Stas- sen attacked the Truman administration as "money wasting, tax stealing, hate peddling. W. Stuart Symington, former head of the. Reconstruction Finance Corporation, said in Kansas City he is seriously considering running for the Democratic senatorial nomination from Missouri.

Oklahoma's Governor Murray pointedly avoided any indication of support for Senator Kerr (D-Okla) as a possible favorite Democratic presidential nominee. Murray said he would "go along with the people of his state. Kerr has not announced his candidacy, but has been mentioned as a possibility. In Alabama, an appeal ia being prepared to knock out the State Democratic committee's party loyalty pledge for presidential elector candidates. The national headquarters of Citizens for Eisenhower," separate from the campaign headquarters in Washington, was opened in New York yesterday.

Arthur H. Vandenbcrg, son of the late senator, is national chairman of the new group. An Eisenhower for president rally is set for Madison Square Garden in New York tonight. And a group of Texans heading for the rally provided a light touch: Some carried "Taft For Eisenhower" signs. They explained they were from Taft, which has 1,500 people "solid for Ike." There were about 200 Texans in the group as they stopped in St Louis last night.

They shouted as 4hey headed for New York: "Here goes a lot of cx-Dem-ocrats." Stassen Offers 4-Point Program For His Party BALTIMORE (A1) Harbld E. Stassen has offered a four-point plank for the Republican plat form, including a profit-sharing plan for American workers. In a Lincoln Day address last night the GOP presidential aspirant suggested that such a program "would end the threat of socialism, nationalization and controls over the economy of America." He mentioned the other planks as a solid dollar anchored to i modern gold standard with a balanced budget, an honest administration and an up-to-date American foreign policy designed to.de-feat communism without world war." Stassen declared that profits are the key to the nation's economic system, and added: "Therefore, the only sound base for long term harmony between labor and capital rests in the development of voluntary profit-sharing with employes through American business." -The program should be brought about voluntarily, Stassen said. He suggested that those corporations which go along with the plan be given favorable tax treatment, but warned that profit-sharing must not be a substitute foe good wages. Turning to his own party's factions, the University of Pennsylvania president said "very conservative and semi-isolationist" Republican leaders are responsible for the loss of states normally in the GOP column Stassen noted that Republican Governor Theodore R.

MrKeldin won the 1950 election in this usually Democratic state. He said it could well serve as an example elsewhere. THE BEST FOR LESS! WHY PAY DRIVER ARRESTED Carrie L.
